for sure Glight. i only say that because both of my AC's are kinda messed up right now, and every trainer ive talked to (that was worth listening to) said the same thing.

Dips done correctly, pushing only your body weight, will not damage your shoulders. If you don't have the shoulder development, or bad form, or an awkward dip bar then I will agree with you that you will cause more harm than good... otherwise, I think that claim is BS. If you already have fvcked up shoulders, then they probably aren't an exercise you should do. But for the rest of us with healthy shoulders... I don't see anything wrong with performing dips with proper form/RoM. I'm starting ring dips and holy sh1t do they feel amazing.

Even CrossFit programs incorporate dips.

Went back to my old cc today since my school hasn't started yet and worked out. Basically had an 80lb sand bag and did a reverse lunge, from that position exploded to a clean with the bag. 5 Each side to 20 kb swings. R
3 Sets of that. Then a kb circuit of Turkish and Scandinavian get UPS
..ill post details when I get home , just trying to kill some time on the 5 freeway. Haha

4- core circuit (NEVER went down to the ground the whole circuit)
- bridge for 20 seconds.
- lift right arm 10 secs, lift left arm 10 secs, right leg 10 secs, left leg 10 secs
- right leg+left arm 10 secs, left leg right arm 10 secs
- right side plank
- reach left arm under, 4 times
- back to bridge, 10 secs
- Left side plank
- reach right arm under 4 times
- Back to bridge- went up and down to push up position,switching arms, 6 times
- back to original bridge, walked feet back for held for 12-15 seconds.

the first superset with the sand bag/kb absolutely killed my forearms. i literally could not open my water bottle after that alone. they were so swollen that i couldnt make a fist for about 3-4 minutes. haah
